Shortness Of Breath And Chest Pain Due To Marijuana Use. What Is The Effect Of Long Term Use Of This?

Hi, Im a 20 year old male and Im wondering what the effect of smoking marijuana poppers are in the long run. Before i continue Id like to add that I understand the risks of smoking cigarettes and marijuana can cause cancer, respiratory problems circulation problems etc.. What I dont understand, is that normal marijuana users, and cigarette smokers dont experience the same issues poppersmokers do, and theres plenty of us, and I ve talked to people that don t smoke poppers but do smoke marijuana and cigarettes and they dont describe the same issues. The issues is a productive cough, more so then just phlegm . Theres black chunks of resin in our production as well as regular chest pain especially waking up in the morning. It feels like shortness of breath and your lungs just dont open properly. It feels itchy underneath the ribs, scratching the chest doesnt work.. its underneath. To list a few more horrible fatigue after not continuing to smoke, aswell as headache. Im mostly concerned with the production and the chest pain. I dont understand why normal smokers dont experience this but we do?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your querry.
There is nothing strange and it is to be expected that popper smoker would have more intensive smptoms as there is much higher drug concentration and inhalation when this is used on such way.
Symptoms and cinsequances can be very serious and depends from man to man,but if you care for your health you should stop using any kind of marihuana and ciggaretes as well. It can cause permanenrnt lungs and brain damage. Wish you good health.
